LightCarbon 918?

Anyone use 165*45 shock on this frame? any problem?

This frame is uses standard mount shocks. All the 165*45 I've seen are trunnion mount.

I've compressed the frame without the shock and there's still some room before the tire will hit the seat tube. I suppose if you can find a 165*45 in standard mount it will likely work.

For anyone running AXS/a single brake hose internally, have you found a solution for filling the other holes in the headset cover?

I'm running AXS and have two housings into the headset (brake and dropper). I haven't plugged the gaps and haven't developed dust issues, but black silicone caulk will fill the excess gap.

Hi. I am interested in this frame. Quick question. Does it use the universal derailleur hanger or some specific one? Maybe a canyon copy?

I'm fairly certain it uses a universal derailleur hanger (UDH).

Im at 24.75 lbs. Not sure how the other guy got the sane weight with a bunch of aluminum parts. My build is SiD fork, XO1 mechanical w carbon cranks, Light Carbon wheelset at 1445 grams,  generic carbon bars and seat post. I'm at 24.75 size large, one bottle cage, wahoo computer and mount and pedals of course.

Tires?  Depending on what tires I use, they can add or remove close to 2 pounds on a mountain bike.  I removed 2 pound off my Carbon Spycycle hardtail when I put on narrower tires.  Went from 21.5 lbs to 19.5 pounds.

i will re-weigh it once i get a new scale.  you have me very curious now.  XO1 seems to loose a lot of the weight in the cassette vs shimano and i have a super light ZTTO cassette installed.  it is XX1 territory for weight.  i have XTR brakes and the XT cranks are not that much heavier than X01 as well.  plus i am running 2.25 tires that are pretty XC oriented.

I do have 2.35 tires tubeless,  but sub 600 grams ea. GX cassette too so there is 100g. I do have Stylo carbon Cranks. I'm 24.75 # with xt spd pedals, bottle cage and wahoo computer.

So I re-weighed my bike with pedals, bottle cage and a lezyne pump and I am at 25.66lbs.  I think the 24.** weight was no pedals, pump or bottle cages.

On another note, I finally received the spokes for the wheel build.  using the venfort hubs and light carbons graphene XC rims, I am looking to loose 2.2 lbs over the existing wheelset.  part of that is going to the ridenow ultralight tubes.  I am pretty much over the whole tubeless scene as we don't have thorns or sharp rocks in my neck of the woods so puncture protection is pretty useless for me.  Once I get it all build up I will post an official unofficial weight.

Wheels are built and everything is ready to ride.  Total weight is 23.5lbs.  The light carbon graphene rims make for some seriously light weight wheels.   Together with Pilar spokes and the Venfort hubs I am at about 1270g.  Super happy with this build. 

Best grams/$$$$ upgrade has to be all the titanium bolts. Hahahahaha.  I know it is a waste but it is also the most fun part of any bike build.

LCFS918 frame can use the newest SRAM Eagle Transmission/ XX Eagle directly. or use the UDH hanger for other groupset,

Is this frame the same of LightCarbon LCFS918?

Yes
I contacted him through AliExpress to ask about the frame and this is what he answered:
FM061 frame We are not retailing on AliExpress.

I'm seriously considering this frame for a new build but have not found any sizing guidance. I'm 5'11" (179.5 cm) tall 32" (81.25cm) inseem, what size would I order?

Thanks

Could you tell me the height of the saddle? 
I need about 79cm or 80cm
thanks

I am 6ft with a 32.5-33 inseam and I am riding the large frame. Seems to fit very well.  Don't have a ton of seat time yet but so far it's good.

I run 790mm from BB center to top of saddle.  Not sure if I had it set in my pictures to exactly that but I do now.  I tuna 400mm seat post and I have a bout 4-5cm of seat post in the frame before I hit the min insert line.
